Charming 1940's Cottage on Lake Steilacoom
This home is a must see! Renovated, old home charm meets upgraded convenience. This quiet community is a historic spot in Lakewood. 11 small white homes, with green shutters and green roofs share 280 feet of waterfront and are connected by stone paths that weave between rolling green hills. This resort like setting is located minutes from I-5 and very close to JBLM.
Located closest to the water in the colonial village, this home is a two bedroom, 1.75 bath, full kitchen with updated stainless steel appliances, gas 4 burner range/oven, hood, dishwasher, french door fridge with built in ice/water dispense and white painted cabinets. There are hardwood floors throughout the entire home. A family room is just off the kitchen; this could also make a nice home office. This room contains a front load washer/dryer, laundry cabinets and a gas hot water tank, which are housed behind wood louver doors. A separate formal dinning room (light french gray walls and white wainscoting) is located just off the kitchen and includes a pass thru for convenience and lake views. There is an expansive living room (painted in Hayseed/ a neutral cream), with large, Andersen wood windows displaying a stunning lakefront view. The open built-in cabinet, complete with a granite top would easily accommodate a 60 inch plus flat screen TV/stereo system. Living room is complete with a natural gas fireplace insert for your comfort and convenience. Dining room and living room windows have white Levolour Faux Wood Blinds that provide sun control and added privacy. The two bedrooms are also painted in Hayseed and have white Levolour Faux Wood Blinds giving it an airy feel yet warmed by the color of the wood floors. There is a full bathroom and a second bath that includes a shower. A private brick patio in the back and a flagstone patio with lake views allow outdoor dining and relaxing. A small shed provides a place for a mower and lawn tools. A detached single car garage with overhead storage is included and a covered group mail box in a well lit walk thru.
Lake Steilacoom is clean/clear, and open to all water sports. This lake is stocked with trout making this a favorite fishing spot for locals and visitors alike. This home is located on a large cove that is protected, allowing for easy canoeing/kayaking, and paddle boarding. The southwest exposure provides plenty of light and unbelievable sunsets!
